DAY SIX
2011: Thor (Fury’s Big Week Part 3)
Summary: As the son of Odin, king of the Norse gods, Thor will soon inherit the throne of Asgard from his aging father. However, on the day that he is to be crowned, Thor reacts with brutality when the Asgardian enemies, the Frost Giants, enter the palace in violation of their treaty. As punishment, Odin banishes Thor to Earth and enchants Mjölnir to grant the powers of Thor to whomever is worthy. While Loki, Thor's brother, plots mischief in Asgard, Thor, now stripped of his powers, faces his greatest threat, Loki using the Destroyer on Earth.
Favorite Moment: Sif and the Warriors Three coming to Thor’s aid.
Notable Events That Happened Around The Movie: In response to the New Mexico incident, Fury ramps up testing & production of Tesseract-powered weapons, Thanos takes notice of Earth & rescues Loki to make him his agent, and Thanos gifts Loki the Mind Stone housed in a spectre-like control mechanism to control his first wave forces, the Chitauri.
Fun Film Fact(s): The final choice for the role of Thor came down to brothers Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth, the latter of which had a cameo playing Thor in a stage performance about the events of The Dark World during Ragnarok. This movie is also part of the trilogy, “Fury’s Big Week” that ties Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, & Thor together as happening simultaneously and intersecting at different times throughout the three films.
